Partition blocks were widely used, which are used not only in private houses and apartments, but also in large construction. Almost every manufacturer who manufactures materials for walls produces blocks for partitions. Therefore, their choice for the consumer is very, very large. Why are these blocks so popular?
First of all, blocks for the construction of partitions are very light, since in their production special selected raw materials are used. It is worth noting that the blocks are not ready for serious loads, which means that it is impossible to lay bearing walls and other supporting elements from them. Their advantage is that they are convenient to install, quite affordable and can easily compete, for example, with wood.
What are the benefits of blocks for partitions?
The material from which the partition blocks are made has good thermomechanical indicators. For example, brick and concrete are inferior to it in thermal insulation qualities. The materials for the manufacture of partition blocks are different, this allows you to get a good product for various construction ideas. The block is usually made in a width of 100 mm. This is much less than the width of the brick, which means it will save space in the apartment where such partitions are installed.
The small thickness of the block does not affect the strength of the structure. Partition blocks can be made using various raw materials, so the products are of the following types:
- Aerated concrete.
- Expanded clay.
- Polystyrene concrete.
- Silicate.
- Gas silicate.
- Concrete
- Foam concrete.
Partition blocks have many advantages. The first of these is the durability of the structure. During installation, the blocks do not require additional fasteners, hold perfectly due to their own weight. They have a good density, which allows you to use the walls built from them to fix various hanging furniture and the necessary shelves on them.
Due to its compactness, the blocks are easily stored indoors. They also have good sound insulation and thermal qualities, which play an important role in the improvement of the apartment. For example, the foam block has a porous structure, and it is not afraid of humidity. Also, thanks to the protected bubbles in the structure of the foam block , the sound insulation of partition structures is significantly increased.
The abundance of positive qualities allows people to choose partitions that effectively perform their functions, and create maximum comfort in their own apartments. Blocks can be used not only for home. They can equip a garden, build benches out of them, construct a playground or implement some other architectural solutions. Low cost of blocks is also one of their advantages. It may vary depending on what raw materials were used for their production. For example,
foam concrete blocks are cheaper than expanded clay
